Test Garden Open Day - October
Our monthly outdoor talk and creative workshop held in the Test Garden, designed for garden and plant lovers.
Each month, we hold a small group in-conversation event in the Test Garden, where you can hear from gardeners, designers and horticulturalists about the garden’s naturalistic planting style and learn about the new flowers in bloom.
The creative workshop provides an opportunity to take part in artist-led creative workshops designed to connect you with nature.
You can choose to register for one or both sessions, although numbers are limited.
A booking link to register to the Test Garden Open Day is coming soon, in the meantime follow @laak.boorndap for regular updates about what’s happening in the Test Garden.
Presented by Fed Square, as part of RESET – a free festival for greener living.
